NEW FEATS

False Casting

A false priest can trick observers into believing spells he casts from magic implements were instead cast by the priest, and that he was using the implement only as a focus component.

He attempts a Bluff check opposed by any observers’ Spellcraft checks. Observers with no ranks in Spellcraft are automatically fooled. Regardless of the success or failure of an observer’s Spellcraft check, she can use the result of that check to identify the spell being cast, only the DC to identify the spell is 20 + the spell’s level instead of 15 + the spell’s level. In addition, when the false priest uses False Casting to cast a 0- or 1st-level spell on the cleric spell list, he receives a +10 circumstance bonus on any opposed Bluff check made when casting the spell.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

False Channel (Su)

A false priest can channel positive energy to heal living creatures like a cleric. The hit points healed by this ability are treated as temporary hit points, and last for 10 minutes per false priest level. These hit points do not stack with themselves, although they do stack with those granted by casting cure light wounds using the first ritual class feature. This ability cannot be used to harm undead creatures.

First Ritual (Su)

The false priest adds bless and cure light wounds to his spell list and list of spells known, but treats both as 2nd-level spells. Whenever he casts cure light wounds using this ability, the hit points healed are instead treated as temporary hit points that last 10 minutes per false priest level. The subject of the spell does not notice this different until the duration expires. Temporary hit points from any subsequent cure spells do not stack.

Master of Lies (Ex)

The false priest adds his false priest class level to any Bluff check made as part of a lie or deception. In addition, whenever he is subject to a spell or special ability that can discern whether or not he is telling the truth, he is automatically aware of such magic. He is not immune to such spells or abilities, but he can choose to remain silent or avoid answering questions.
